Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\Users\bob\Pictures), and the only tool referenced is WAImportExport.exe, which is a Windows executable. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor is there any mention of Linux-compatible tools or usage patterns. The documentation refers to 'Windows Azure' and assumes a Windows file system and environment throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples using Linux-style paths (e.g., /home/bob/Pictures).
  • Clarify whether the WAImportExport tool is available for Linux, or suggest alternative methods for Linux users if not.
  • Mention any prerequisites or compatibility notes for non-Windows users.
  • Use neutral terminology such as 'Azure Blob Storage' instead of 'Windows Azure Blob service'.
  • Include guidance for handling BitLocker-encrypted drives on Linux, or note if this is unsupported.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, explicitly state this early in the documentation and link to Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
